Following the initial setup, both the SWAT and Gang units executed a warrant to search the property where they discovered multiple firearms; this discovery led to the arrest of three juveniles and one adult male, the suspects who now face undisclosed charges for their alleged involvement in the shooting—details of the charges have not been made public at this time. The swift action following the shooting demonstrates the effectiveness of the coordinated efforts among the various divisions within the Long Beach Police Department.
The Facebook announcement stated, "Great collaboration by our West Division officers, SWAT Team and Gang Detail!" The post boasts about the teamwork that resulted not only in the swift apprehension of the suspects but also the removal of several firearms from potentially dangerous hands, an outcome that likely contributes to the ongoing effort to curb gun violence within the community.
